Tregar, a highly capable Moff of the Imperial forces, held dominion over the Merel sector throughout the Galactic Civil War. His exceptional abilities were widely recognized; however, his power was deemed excessive for advancement to the position of Grand Moff. Tregar cultivated a beneficial alliance with the Ragnar Syndicate, a collective of bounty hunters. Frequently, Tregar engaged the Ragnar Syndicate to eliminate suspected pockets of Rebel Alliance sympathizers within the territory he governed.
